Low cpu and gpu usage

[Kbadri10]

When im gaming my cpu usage is always ~5-15% and gpu usage is ~40-60% and i get hugely low fps with stutter i checked all my temps my cpu was like 40 c and gpu was not exceeding 80 c i tried using the superposition benchmark i selected 720 low to test on and gpu usage was like 40% to 50% and cpu ~5-15% and i get terrible fps but when i select to benchmark on 1080p high my gpu usage goes all the way to 90% but the cpu was still in ~10-15% in this situation i get decent fps but lot of stutter
If somebody knows what to do pls i really need help ive been strugglling with this problem since my pc build

First of all your running single channel 

Effectively cutting your bandwidth in half 

Second of all 

Enable xmp/ docp

I already got xmp enabled

And i will upgrade to dual channel this week .will that fix my problem surely ?

It will help 

Will it fix it entirely ? We don't know 

Only way to know is to actually test 

[marmour]

Thats also a pretty low end motherboard for that level of CPU

Okay ill try thanks for your help

And btw last question is the cpu good for my gpu ?

Should i really upgrade the motherboard ? if yes will it raise my cpu usage ? and what mobo do you recommend me to get with a price close to mine

Yes  

Forgot to add 

Run cinebench or prime 95 as a cpu stress test and check cpu usage

Okay ill try it right now and tell you the results

Are your cpu clock speeds decreasing over time? Id be surprised if the motherboard VRMs were overheating in a gaming workload, but its worth a check

This also wouldnt explain the GPU issues so its unlikely its the case.

If you can get a new board get a B450 board. The MSI tomohawk or mortar would do nicely. As I say though, its probably unlikely to increase your performance (although it does give you the ability to overclock)

I tested it and cpu usage seems pretty good at a constant 100% and no less than that and the score was actually good

No the cpu clock speeds are constant in every situation and sometimes in heavy areas they raise from 3.2 to 4.1 ghz and cpu temp seems fine as i said its 40c

Hmm.

Have you definitely got all your drivers up to date and the latest BIOS?

Otherwise i really dont know im afraid

Use prime 95 as well 

If the stress test utilizes the cpu well 

Get dual channel and if the issue persists with games it could be poor game optimization

Your unlikely that your power throttling 

But am upgrade is recommended 

Something like a b450 pro 4 for cheap will be a lot better.

@Kbadri10 Please post a GPU-Z screenshot so we can verify the GPU and PCIe connection speed

well i updated all my drivers using driver booster except these 4 because they dont seem important to me

Ok ill try prime 95

And if the problem persists after i upgrade to dual channel ill try to upgrade the mobo too

Does the card exhibit the same behaviour when it isn't overclocked?

yes i tried put it on stock clock and run a game and the problem still persists

I tried it and kept it running for 2 hours and the cpu usage seems to be stable at 100% and doesnt seem to be throttling at all since the cpu temp doesnt exceed 60 c

Oh no I didn't mean thermal throttling

I meant power throttling

Look at the frequency and if it stayed at around the advertised all core Turbo then your good 

If that's the case then it's probably a poor game optimization

yes all cores clock seems to be stable maybe in 1% of the times one core drops to 2.9 mhz but unless that it seems perfect

And i dont think its a poor game optimization because i have tried it in many games like far cry 5 ,apex legends ,fortnite and as i said, in superposition benchmark gpu usage seems fine at high 1080p settings but the cpu usage is around 10%

Soo maybe its a ram issue probably as you said before

@Kbadri10 DDU the video driver and install direct from NVIDIA. Once done, please run a 1080p superposition benchmark, and let us know the results. Link would be preferable.
